Bank of the West has seen a rise in mortgage loan applications since April as homeowners seek to take advantage of low interest rates under the government’s Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) 2.0.
For consumers wanting to learn more about HARP, Bank of the West has published Eight Essential Harp Tips and introduced an educational video series on HARP loans that can be viewed on YouTube at YouTube.com/Bankofthewest.
“We are anticipating that one out of every five new borrowers will be a homeowner seeking a HARP 2.0 refinance loan this year,” said Karen Mayfield, Bank of the West’s National Sales Manager for the Mortgage Banking Division. “This program is providing real relief for homeowners who are current on their mortgage but have been unable to refinance due to a decline in the value of their home.”

Now lets step back and look at this little mess we?ve got and all the rough spots dragging through the mud, dragging through the mud, dragging down. And these knees are products of instability, from you and me. Now lets step forward and figure out our next move, cuz you know I cant keep myself from loving you. But if its what I?ve gotta do oh I can bite my lip, spit out blood, and watch you leave. All I?ve got to do is wait it out. And all I?ve got to do is wait it out, oh im waiting out. Now before we go further theres just one thing that I?ve gotta say, so listen up. I?ve been waiting days and nights for something from you, to land on me. Oh please land on me. All I?ve got to do is wait it out. And all I?ve got to do is wait it out. And maybe I think that we?ve got it down, I know that its been rough but baby we?ve got sound. And if you feel the same way, I?ll write you a song every day. Just please don?t leave me here.
